He Climbed Onto a "Burning Tank" — and TOOK DOWN 200 Germans Alone

January 26, 1945. Holtzwihr, France. The snow is red. German infantry have broken through the American line in the Colmar Pocket. Tanks are moving. The defensive position is collapsing. One officer makes a decision no one ordered. He climbs onto a burning tank destroyer — and opens fire alone. For the next hour, he stands on a vehicle that could explode at any second, holding off more than two hundred advancing German soldiers. This is the true story of the stand that made Audie Murphy a legend. #WWII #WorldWar2 #AudieMurphy #MedalOfHonor #ColmarPocket #WW2History #GroundCombat #MilitaryHistory Tags: World War 2, WWII ground combat, Audie Murphy Medal of Honor, Colmar Pocket 1945, US Army WWII, close combat WWII, last stand WWII, winter warfare WWII, 3rd Infantry Division, cinematic war story, true war story, WWII hero story Sources: Audie Murphy's Medal of Honor citation, U.S. Army records; "To Hell and Back" by Audie Murphy (Henry Holt and Company, 1949); Don Graham, "No Name on the Bullet: A Biography of Audie Murphy" (Viking, 1989); 3rd Infantry Division combat records and after-action reports, National Archives; "Audie Murphy: War Hero and Movie Star" by Judy Alter; U.S. Army Center of Military History documentation on the Colmar Pocket operations, January–February 1945.
